Kirk is a technician; he developed himself into a solid technical QB that understands the Xs and Os at a relatively high level, that's his advantage over many modern/young Qbs, not anything to do with his physial abilities.

Sanders doesn't play on time.
At all. Ever.
It's EASILY the biggest knock on him. The arm strength is...fine. The accuracy is...fine. Mid-tier starting QB in terms of physical traits.
But he doesn't run an offense. He holds the ball too long and doesn't really go through progressions.
I don't think 'sandlot' is an unfair label to tag to his playstyle at all. Lots of guys have played like him and the very few that succeed have a preternatural feel for the game (Mahomes) or they have a sort of lunatic fearlessness combined with plus tools that makes them pretty damn good (Baker).
I think Sanders MIGHT have that fearlessness but I don't think he has plus tools. And I think his feel is orders of magnitude worse than Baker's.
That's the target for him, though. If absolutely everything goes right, I could see him becoming Baker someday. I just don't think he has nearly the mobility, arm talent or improvisational ability that Baker has.
